Thank you and so sorry about what im about to say but
All of them x.x
it was the Apotamkin Closet, Console content patch, Leviathan tears and monster glow begone i think? dont know if im missing a single one
I had them all written down because i was gonna use them "later" and downloaded them before but uninstalling and manually deleting files made me lose the mods and i picked the worse time to play , ALSO
Do you know if Krisan is doing ok? if you see him tell them their work is amazing

Dunno why it took Steam a few days to notify me you'd replied again, but it looks like that was the turnaround time from your original message to my reply too, sooo... yeah.

I assume Krisan is fine, he had just moved on to other projects and also had some other folks doing some collaboration work of their own on his Discord server, if I know him, he's still modding away, just at some other game or another. He did have some life stuff go on but last I talked to him, things were moving in a positive direction, so I assume all is well. As vigil said, he's still active on Steam, "playing" games, more likely modding them. It's just I guess personally we haven't had anything to talk about, so we've kinda lapsed.

Anyway, mod links, here you go:

I've got two different versions of the Monster Mod Pack, the last "official" release and also a "beta" release, that, as far as I'm concerned, is fine to use. The biggest differences here are that more cactuar variants were added, but there were also some under-the-hood changes made between versions 18 and 26b, so I'd recommend 26b, but I'll post both so you have the option to use whichever you'd like:

Hello there Scarlet, i wanted to let you know that the mod Krisan created for Lightning Returns to add the "Outerworld Addons"(console exclusive content) was removed from the Nexus because it was 'malicious', i honestly think it was a false positive
I uploaded the archive to Mega here:
https://mega.nz/file/YW9xlYxZ#0ZsYajLc4Tds-ybdq-1cFDBPwvROVZkIunXdtzOThEg

And to Catbox here for a direct download:

Well I’ve still got the LR mods too, of course, so if anyone needs them, as I’m an archivist for his content. I wasn’t even aware his stuff was on Nexus, since he shared direct links from his Patreon page. But thanks for doing your part!

These are the same people that will ban you over a flag and call it inclusion while they are being blatantly EXCLUSIVE. If you don't agree with their politics 100% lock step like a certain group of people in 1930s Germany you are gone. I would not be surprised if it wasn't a false positive but active action taken on ModDB's part.

Or just some prick thought he knew better or got angry that he couldn't get the mods to work and so hit them with a report mod. Mods have a bad rep for containing viruses and malware and such so any flags like that aren't always investigated and are instead blindly deleted. More often than not as said before, due to false positives. If anything even LOOKS dodgy people will click that button and there goes the mods.

Its good that people are keeping these wonderful mods alive, I don't know why they were removed the first time and I don't really care but its great that scarlet crusade is uploading them somewhere.

Unfortunately, this is a very common occurrence. The people in charge should at least make an effort to contact the mod author/uploader to confirm. And if the author/uploader is not active, can't they just test it themselves? But no, it's easier to just delete and be done with it.

Like there's not a ton of upload sites, let them remove good honest content people will stop using that website before to long.

Maybe. But Nexus is a pretty big site. And one of the more well known mod sites not twisted around just one game. Lover's lab being the other lol. Also FF13-2 wasn't nearly as popular a game as many others so mods aren't nearly as popular for it as some other games. The loss might be big considering from what I've seen the mods here are some of if not ALL of the best for the game, but overall I doubt it would even register on their radar.

I envy your simplistic thought process, m8w. I wish it's that simple. But no, Nexus will be fine. Nexus is not just an "upload site". It also provides community features. Much like how Steam will be fine no matter how many free games Epic gives away due to the features Steam has.

Besides, FF13-2 modding is just a drop in the ocean compared to say, Skyrim modding, the most popular there. It won't make a dent on the userbase.

Many thanks!

i kinda want my old xbox 360 experience but seems like thats hard to do.
Using a save that has all Fragments (but everything at lvl 1) is kinda stupid cus the moment i close a gate i can only go into that gate, not sure how it works if i start the whole game from scratch with 160/160 fragments tho.
Cheating DLC doesnt work, even cheating the crystals for Lightning etc doesnt work.

Is there no way to somehow make the game think im finished the MSQ while keeping my current save?

Since I've already 100% the game anyway (Not counting collecting every single monster crystal) I've been using a program called Wemod. Think of it like...all the most popular game trainer makers and the most up to date game trainers in one place. It's free though some small features are locked out unless you pay. Admittedly not that expensive but I used it for free a LOT before I went down that path.

For 13-2 I will admit, the trainer there has a couple of bugs to it. Almost every fight is an absolute breeze with it but most of the arena DLC fights will 1 shot you if you use certain cheats so it's best to avoid using more than the bare minimum for those and even then it can take a while which makes recruitment of those characters a pain regardless.

Up to you though. Beyond that I can't think of a way to open up the whole game without playing it. But with Wemod it really doesn't take long.

Hello, after looking through the thread I've confirmed dlc such as Colosseum and Lightning's crystal do not unlock until after beating the game. But does that include the costumes and weapons that were added back in via the content patch mod? I've installed said mod however don't see any additional costumes in the menu, though this is a new save so maybe that's why.

If I recall correctly, there is a menu where you can receive DLC items. Load your save and then look through your options. Can't remember where it is. As far as I know, the Colosseum and Lightning DLCs are post-game but they are the only ones. Everything else should be available as soon as you can change worlds freely. (After completing New Bodum 5AF I think) Maybe sooner.

[vigilnova666]

That SHOULD include the items from the restored content mods.
